418a99ac6ad487dc9c42e6b0e85f941af56330f2 "Replace rwlock on xfrm_policy_afinfo with rcu"
triggers below warnings, which is caused by abusing rcu_dereference_bh with rcu_read_lock.

RCU rules must be honored:
 - rcu_dereference_bh paired with rcu_read_lock_bh/rcu_read_unlock_bh
 - rcu_dereference  paired with rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_unlock

I already applied your patch, as I told you here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=134517122805719&w=2

This means you are submitting a patch which doesn't not even apply
to the net-next tree.

Instead of continuing to dig yourself deeper and deeper, take a
break, take a deep breath, and work slowly and carefully.

OK, thanks for your kind guidance :)

BTW, we (incorrectly ?) mix RCU and RCU_BH in this file, and since we
use synchronize_rcu() anyway, we should/could use rcu_read_lock()
everywhere we can, as this is less expensive (currently inlined at least
on x86) than rcu_read_lock_bh()

I'll send a cleanup patch on a separate thread
